Pierre-Antoine Rovani made the switch from wine retail to the world of wine writing in 1996 after he started faxing his own reviews of wines to Robert Parker, publisher of The Wine Advocate. At the time Parker was considered a giant voice in wine, but Pierre disagreed with his ratings on occasion, so he decided to send Parker his opinions to begin a dialog. A short time later Pierre found himself working as Parker's top critic, covering Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne and the Loire, as well as many regions outside of France.
After ten years with The Wine Advocate, Pierre decided to make the move from critic to production, and joined Remoissenet Père et Fils as President. Remoissenet had just been purchased by an American family who brought Pierre on to lead the firm into its next chapter. Today the firm owns and farms a growing number of their own vineyards, and Pierre still commutes between Beaune and his home in Washington, D.C to run the company's operations.
